CRISPY PAN-FRIED NOODLES WITH CHICKEN AND VEGETABLES (GAI SEE LIANG MEIN WONG)



Crispy Pan-Fried Noodles with Chicken and Vegetables (Gai See Liang Mein Wong) image

Crispy pan-fried noodles originated in the Shanghai and Suzhou region of China. As Shanghainese people migrated to Hong Kong, the dish came with them and became very popular there. It's known by a number of names, including "Hong Kong-style noodle" and "pan-fried noodles" in English; in Cantonese, it's often called "gong sik chow mein," and also the traditional "liang mein huang" (literally "two face golden," describing the two golden sides of the noodle nest). This recipe is the restaurant-style version with crunchy deep-fried noodles surrounding sautéed chicken and vegetables covered in brown gravy. As the gravy coats the noodles in the center, they soften and become similar to lo mein in texture. You can substitute other proteins for the chicken (beef, pork or shrimp, for instance); just adjust the cooking times.

Time 5h45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

5 medium or 7 small dried shiitake mushrooms
1 pound pan-fried noodles or chow mein noodles
1 pound (4 to 5) boneless skinless chicken thighs
Kosher salt
3 1/4 teaspoons sugar
2 tablespoons plus 1 1/4 teaspoons cornstarch
2 1/4 teaspoons light soy sauce, divided
1 tablespoon plus 1 1/4 teaspoons Shaoxing rice wine
Neutral oil, such as canola oil or vegetable oil
2 small carrots (about 3/4 pound), peeled and thinly sliced on the diagonal
1 pound bok choy (about 4 to 5), stems and leaves separated
2 scallions
1 clove garlic
2 tablespoons oyster sauce
1/2 teaspoon dark soy sauce

Steps:

  • Combine the dried mushrooms and 2 cups cool water in a medium bowl. Cover and let soak at room temperature for 4 hours.
  • Bring 6 cups of water to a boil in a 14-inch wok over high heat. Cook the noodles according to the package directions until tender all the way through, about 3 minutes. Strain the noodles and divide them between two plates. Lift small amounts of noodles up and down with chopsticks to cool the noodles and form each plate of noodles into an 8-inch "bird's nest" shape. Let them cool at room temperature for 30 minutes. After 30 minutes, lightly cover with plastic wrap and set aside.
  • Meanwhile, cut the chicken thighs into 1/2-inch-thick slices. Mix the chicken and 3/4 teaspoon each salt, sugar, cornstarch, light soy sauce and Shaoxing wine together in a medium bowl and toss to coat. Mix in 1/2 teaspoon neutral oil until combined. Cover and refrigerate.
  • Once the mushrooms are nearly rehydrated, bring 6 cups of water in the same wok to a boil. Blanch the carrots until slightly tender, about 1 minute. Strain the carrot out of the water with a spider or slotted spoon and place on a plate to cool slightly. Bring the water back to a boil, add the bok choy and cook until just tender, about 2 minutes. Strain the bok choy and place with the carrot. Set aside.
  • Prepare the scallions by cutting them into 2-inch pieces, then thinly slicing them lengthwise. Chop the garlic so everything is ready for stir-frying.
  • Meanwhile, mix the oyster sauce, 2 teaspoons sugar, 1 teaspoon kosher salt, 1 teaspoon light soy sauce, and the dark soy sauce together in a medium bowl until smooth. Set aside.
  • Mix 2 tablespoons cornstarch and 5 tablespoons cold water in a small bowl until smooth. Set aside.
  • Remove the mushrooms from the water with a slotted spoon (reserve the soaking water). Squeeze the water from the mushrooms, cut off and discard the stems and thinly slice the caps. Mix the sliced mushrooms with 1/2 teaspoon each salt, sugar, cornstarch, light soy sauce and Shaoxing wine in a small bowl. Add 1/2 teaspoon neutral oil and mix until combined. Mix the mushroom soaking liquid with the oyster sauce mixture until combined.
  • Pour enough neutral oil into a wok (about 5 cups for a 14-inch wok) so it comes 2 inches up the sides but not above halfway up the wok. (See Cook's Note.) Heat over high heat until the oil reaches 350 degrees F on a deep-fry thermometer.
  • As the oil is heating up, loosen the noodles again just before frying by using chop sticks to separate and fluff them. Transfer one cooled noodle nest into a large spider, slowly and carefully lower it into the hot oil (step away from the wok as the oil may splatter for the first few seconds). Fry for 5 minutes. Flip the noodles using the spider and chopsticks, push any noodles back that are sticking out to keep the shape, and fry until the edges of the nest are crispy, 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer the crispy noodles to a paper towel-lined plate. Wipe off as much oil as possible; the nest will crisp more as it sits.
  • Repeat with the remaining nest of noodles, adding more oil to the wok if necessary to make sure the noodles are completely submerged. Drain on another paper towel-lined plate. Carefully discard the oil.
  • Heat the wok over high heat until smoking. Pour in 1 tablespoon neutral oil and swirl it around the wok to coat the surface. Spread the chicken in an even layer and fry undisturbed until it starts to brown, about 2 minutes. Toss and stir-fry until the chicken is opaque, about 1 minute. Add the shiitake mushrooms and chopped garlic; stir fry for 1 minute. Pour the remaining 1 tablespoon Shaoxing wine around the sides of the wok and stir fry until the wok is dry again, about 30 seconds.
  • Add the oyster sauce mixture, carrots, bok choy and scallions. Bring to boil, slowly drizzle in half the cornstarch slurry and mix until thickened, about 30 seconds. Add more if needed.
  • Transfer the noodle nests to plates or platters and pour the sauce into the middle of the crispy noodles. Serve hot.

PAN FRIED STEAK WITH VEGETABLES



Pan Fried Steak With Vegetables image

This has become a mainstay at my house. It evolved out of a recipe I saw on the Food Channel a while back. I've done this recipe with fish filets, chicken breast, lamb and a number of other things, and for some reason it's always worked. You just have to use an appropriate wine for your meat of choice, i.e. a nice fat Cabernet will work well for steak, but will gag and bury any white fish.

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 20m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 steaks, i suggest a medallion cut sirloin
1/2 bunch asparagus, cleaned and woody stems removed
1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
2 cups cleaned and sliced mushrooms (portabello are nice but button or brown are good too)
1 cup red wine
2 shallots, chopped
1 garlic clove, minced
1 1/2-2 cups halved cherry tomatoes or 1 1/2-2 cups grape tomatoes
3 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon olive oil
kosher salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Pat 1-2 pinches of salt into each side of the steaks.
  • Heat a large sauté pan or iron skillet to medium high.
  • You'll want to avoid non-stick for this purpose and don't put any oil in the pan either, as we're going to want all those little bits that stick to the bottom of the pan for later.
  • Place steaks in pan and let sear.
  • DON'T YOU DARE POKE AT 'EM!
  • Cook on each side to desired doneness-- when they're just underdone, remove from skillet, place on plate, and stick that plate in a 200°F oven to keep warm, and to rest.
  • Heat olive oil in the same pan as you cooked your steaks inches.
  • Add your mushrooms, shallots, garlic and a pinch of salt and few grinds of pepper and sweat at medium until tender, stirring occasionally.
  • Raise heat to medium-high and add rosemary and asparagus and gently add red wine.
  • Cover and let sit for 5 minutes.
  • Uncover, and add tomato halves.
  • Keep stirring occasionally until liquids have reduced to a syrupy texture.
  • Squish 6-10 tomato halves with a fork (another reason to avoid non-stick pans for this) and add the butter in chunks randomly throughout the pan.
  • Reduce heat to minimum and let the butter melt.
  • Get the steaks out of the oven (carefully! that plate is gonna be hot!) and place one on each plate to be served.
  • Using tongs or a slotted spoon, divide veggies between the two plates.
  • Spoon some of that sauce over each plate, making sure to keep the portions equal (many arguments over 'who got more sauce' whenever we have this--trust me the extra care is warranted).
  • Garnish with some parsley or rosemary sprigs and serve.

EASY STIR-FRIED CHICKEN AND VEGETABLES



Easy Stir-Fried Chicken and Vegetables image

This is a recipe that I made frequently on days that I had off from school and/ or work. I used it because it was quick and easy to prepare, cook, and enjoy. If prepared right, it is also good for people trying to watch their weight. I know it was for me. I came up with it just by finding what i had in my freezer and throwing it all together... The cooking time says 10 minutes, but i think it should take less than that. It should take in between 5 and 10 minutes. And for the vegetables, you can get single bags of frozen vegetables (I used broccoli stir-fry) in a grocery store near you.

KOREAN STEAMED CHICKEN WITH VEGETABLES



Korean Steamed Chicken With Vegetables image

Provided by Moira Hodgson

Categories     dinner, main course

Time 2h30m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 3-pound chicken, skinned and trimmed of excess fat
1 medium-sized onion, peeled and sliced into slivers
1 carrot, cut into 1-inch strips
2 canned bamboo shoots, sliced into strips
4 slices fresh ginger
1/4 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
8 dried Chinese mushrooms, soaked in hot water until soft, stems removed and discarded, caps sliced into strips
1 teaspoon vegetable oil
1 egg, separated
2 scallions, cut in 1-inch pieces
2 tablespoons low-salt soy sauce
6 walnuts shelled and the meat halved
1 tablespoon pine nuts

Steps:

  • Bring the water to boil in a steamer, cover and reduce the heat to a simmer. Place the whole chicken on a rack and let it cook for 1 to 1 1/2 hours. When the chicken is cooked, remove it from the steamer and cool. Increase the heat to high and boil the stock in the base until you have reduced it to about 2 cups, about 15 minutes.
  • When the chicken is cool, peel the meat off all the bones (discarding any fat and cartilage) and cut the flesh into bite-size pieces.
  • Pour the liquid from the steamer into a large saucepan and set it over medium heat. Add the onion, carrot, bamboo shoots, ginger, Cayenne and mushrooms. Cover, let the mixture come to a boil, reduce heat to low and simmer about 5 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, set a small frying pan over medium heat and coat the surface with half the oil. Just before the oil begins to smoke gently add the egg whites, beaten, rotating the pan until they spread into an even layer. Turn only once when the albumin has just set. Repeat the process with the beaten egg yolks and turn both omlettes onto paper towels to drain. When the omelettes are cool, slice them into diamond shapes, about 1 1/2 inches to a side.
  • Add the scallions and chicken to the simmering liquid in the saucepan. Season with the soy sauce and add the walnuts. Leave the saucepan uncovered and adjust the heat to continue simmering all ingredients. Let the mixture cook for about 2 minutes; then transfer the contents to a heated bowl or tureen. Scatter the egg diamonds and pine nuts over the top and serve at once.

PAN-FRIED CHICKEN WITH STEAMED VEGETABLES



PAN-FRIED CHICKEN WITH STEAMED VEGETABLES image

Categories     Chicken     Vegetable     Fry     Steam     Low Fat     Quick & Easy     High Fiber     Low/No Sugar     Wheat/Gluten-Free     Dinner     Lunch     Healthy

Yield 2-4

Number Of Ingredients 8

2-4 organic chicken breasts
2 tbsp coconut oil
1 cup brown rice
2-3 carrots (chopped in half moons)
Handful snap peas in pod
Several broccoli pieces
Several Cauliflower pieces
1 lemon (optional)

Steps:

  • Cook brown rice as package instructs (try cooking with fresh chicken or vegetable broth for a bit more flavour). Steam veggies until slightly soft. Heat coconut oil in a stainless steel, over-safe fry pan on med-high. Pan fry the chicken on one side for about 5-7 min (until cooked about half way through). Flip the chicken and fry for another 5-7 min (until cooked through). If you still have any pesto left from earlier in the week, try spreading a bit on the chicken as you serve. Squeeze some fresh lemon juice on the chicken and veggies for a splash of flavour if you like. *Alternate cooking option - If you have an indoor grill, you could grill the chicken instead on pan frying.

Tips:

- To achieve crispy and flavorful chicken, use a combination of cornstarch, flour, salt, and pepper to coat the chicken pieces before pan-frying. Ensure the oil is hot enough before adding the chicken to prevent sticking and promote even cooking. - For tender and juicy chicken, marinate the chicken in a mixture of soy sauce, Shaoxing wine, and ginger for at least 30 minutes or up to overnight. This marinade not only infuses flavor but also helps retain moisture during cooking. - To enhance the taste of the steamed vegetables, consider using a variety of vegetables with different flavors and textures. Broccoli, carrots, bell peppers, and baby corn are all excellent choices. Season the vegetables lightly with salt and pepper before steaming to bring out their natural flavors. - For a complete and balanced meal, serve the pan-fried chicken with steamed vegetables and a side of rice or noodles.

Conclusion:

This recipe for pan-fried chicken with steamed vegetables offers a delicious and nutritious meal that is easy to prepare. By following the tips and techniques mentioned above, you can create a flavorful and satisfying dish that is sure to please your family and friends. Remember to adjust the cooking time and seasoning to suit your personal preferences, and experiment with different vegetable combinations to add variety to your meals.
